Thunderbird ARM mixers are gear-driven planetary floor mixers from 20 to 80 quarts: ARM-02, ARM-30, ARM-60 and ARM-80, with variants such as ARM-60(4S), ARM-60-6M and ARM-60-3SP/EL.
We check the bowl guard, the timer and the contactor first, since those cause most no-starts. A hard gear shift calls for a look at the shifter and gears, and an oil leak at the head means a seal. Pizzerias and bakeries here push these mixers hard in a hot kitchen.
Parts for a brand that is less common take a little more checking, so we confirm them before we come out. A written price comes first, and we are frank if an ARM mixer is not worth another repair. Tell us the full model number from the plate.

What do the endings on ARM-60 models mean?
They mark variants, such as speeds or control types. Give us the full number from the data plate and we confirm the right parts before the visit.
Why is the gear shift stuck?
Worn shifter parts or dry gears are the usual causes. We inspect them and replace what is worn, and give a written price before we order any part.
What does a worn gear shift look like?
It usually feels stiff, jumps out of gear or sticks between speeds. We inspect the shifter and the gears before we price anything, and we show you the worn part.
